With the very capable assistance of my grown son and a couple of friends we have next years wood in for the fireplace.<br />We were offered free selection of numerous trees from T tree, Pine, Willow, Poplar and Macrocarpa.<br />This morning we took out 25m cubed and have delivered it to our mother-in-law and my brother in law, plus a couple of metres to an elderly friend who always gets some from us. That left us with about 10m3 for our own use. It'll get split tomorrow and stacked away to weather for the summer. I even made my own log jack this year to use and it worked a treat. Wish I'd done that years ago.<br />It's great to have the wood collection done this early and it'll be well seasoned by the time its needed. I'm at work now and it's just gone below 3 degrees C. Fire at home is keeping the household warm! All I need now is some pine cones for the hut down the hunting grounds.<br />Ross
